Never heard of it myself, UK 300 was a ltd edition WRX.
An STi would have a 6 sp box, they came out with the new age cars, so he's spouting ****e there.
There was never a standard or Prodrive car that made 298bhp;
Standard cars;
WRX was either 215 or 225 bhp
STi was 265 bhp or 270 bhp later on (think that was at least blob eye shape tho)
Prodrive cars;
WRX with PPP was 265bhp (I think)
STi with PPP was 305bhp (again I think, but I'm fairly confident, tho happy to be proved wrong)
That info is off the top of my head.

The 6 speed box was introduced in the uk 2002 when the first uk sti's came into the country. The uk300 is a wrx hence the 5 speed box. It may well have had an sti interior fitted. But from your descrption its not an sti. What brakes does it have?
